Where can I find cheap contact lenses?

When looking for cheap contact lenses online it's important to remember that just because a particular website is offering the lowest price for your contact lenses it doesn't mean that it will be the best overall deal.

Make sure that you do all the maths before ordering, including the cost of any cleansing materials that you may need as well as postage and packing.

In a bid to retain customers many websites will offer discounts for bulk buying and customer loyalty schemes, which over time can make a substantial financial difference. On the flip side of the coin online suppliers try to win new custom with special offers and promotions, so even if you've found a great deal once it pays to shop around from time to time.

A word of caution should be sounded about the growing number of websites claiming to compare the prices of contact lenses across the Internet. While some may be accurate and bang up to date others are little more than advertising schemes, so it's best to approach each site with a level of skepticism.

As a rule of thumb disposable contact lenses (and certainly daily disposable lenses) cost more than the combined price of extended wear lenses and solution. However, many people are prepared to pay the premium to save time and hassle. One area where you must not try to cut any financial corners is with follow up eye-care.
